In early 2025, beaver activity in the Brdy Protected Landscape Area, Czech Republic, contributed to the restoration of a wetland ecosystem. A family of beavers constructed a series of dams that accomplished environmental goals set by the Czech government, which had delayed its proposed project since 2018 for bureaucratic and financial reasons. The beaver-built dams saved the Czech government approximately US$1.2 million, providing ecological benefits including improved water quality, enhanced biodiversity, and better water retention.
presumably the local government at somepoint was like “we gotta hire a hunter to kill these beavers, their activity will delay our ecological restoration project, which is already behind, further”

Those beavers: fine I’ll do it my fucking self
